Treehouse Brewing Company - I Will Not Be Afraid - Imperial Milk Stout with coffee. People go crazy for Treehouse pales but this is sensational. This is the fourth stout I've had from them and they have all been sensational. The fact they can get some much flavour and body into something sub 10% is a true achievement. This is superbly balanced with great chocolate and coffee flavours. I need to get my hands on some more Treehouse stouts. #craftnotcrap#craftbeer#beergeek#beersnob#beerporn#treehousebrewing

About last night with @andywatson1983
3 Fontenien | Framboos Oogst 2017 | 5.3% - A good start to proceedings offering initial sharp hit but getting quickly used to the flavour. It's very enjoyable and potentially the best Framboos I've had.
Toppling Golliath | Double Dry Hop Pseudo Sue | 6.8% Pale Ale - I asked 'what do you call it when its cauliflower with cheese on', a couple of seconds later I recieved my reply. 'Cauliflower cheese....' 'oh yeah'. Well thats the aroma anyway! Vegital and cheesy and having never had the original Pseudo Sue yet I wasnt sure what to expect but I tell you what, this is a fantastic beer, easy to drink, a thirst quencher, all the elements of a top flavoursome DIPA rolled into single IPA form.
Oude Pinot Noir Tilquin | 8.2% - Was surprised with the large abv on a lambic. I'm struggling to give a proper flavour profile as I had a few after this. It was tasty of course and a solid 4/5, just not Tilquin's best IMHO.
Finback x 4 Hands | Life Span | 8.8% DIPA - We had a few Finback DIPAs to pick from tonight and I plumped for this for starters when I read Denali, Azacca and Citra. The aroma was a dialed down DDH Pseudo Sue but with the same sort of smells. The beer was fantastic. Tropical and creamy.
Side Project | Blueberry Flanders | 7% - From the few Side Projects that I've been lucky enough to taste this one is the least favourite to me but like the Tilquin it's still a 4/5. The flavour is sharp and remains sharp the whole duration but from the top of the bottle to the bottle it's a consistent flavour throughout. You'd not want he whole small bottle to yourself though as it was quite rich.
Finback x To Øl | Aqua Dementia | 8.8% DIPA - Didn't realise it was a To Øl collab until opening. It's dry hopped with Cryo Simcoe, Mosaic and Citra and beer of the night. By beer of the night I'm talking potentially beer of the year so far, by so far I mean maybe for the entire 2019. Stunner. Absolute stunner. We couldn't find the words to describe how good.
Finback | Double Something Simcoe | 8.5% DIPA - Clear looking and potentially the worst pale we had of the evening but still very nice, we had to complete the treble Finback DIPAs!
